Rob,
You are truly a "God among men", firefox 1.5.0.4 compiles and works like a
charm, well almost, it seems to lose the fonts, on some pages, until you run
the mouse over them. I am using the 64bit Nvidia driver so maybe that is what
is causing it?
I will let you know if OO compiles, thanks again you re-lit the my 64bit
torch.
